Further on Popper's Trialism -- cfr. The Three Grices.
A few excerpts from an author who uses 'trialism' to nominate Popper's
theory.
http://www.medicoscentro.com/Pio_Abreu/Novos/PROJ21.pdf
"The recent approach of Popper's ontology is based on the vision of 3
worlds.
World 1 corresponds to the material and extensive world of
Descartes, including the living things that Darwin
postulated to be subject to natural selection."
"Popper was concerned with products of the human spirit -
language and scientific theories - which he believed to
be subject to the same natural selection."
"They
belong to World 3, which basic pieces are the signs studied by linguists
and semiologists.
"Between World 1 and 3 there is the World 2 of Popper."
"Despite not being the main concern of
the philosopher, it is obvious that he speaks about the same phenomena
as Bergson did,
although Popper extends it to animal behaviour [1956,1982 :116] (and
Bergson would be able to
support this idea)."
"If we define World 2 as the world of durable (in time) phenomena, we can
include in it
energy and entropic change, in the same way that growing up and learning
behaviour consist of
negentropic change."
